Lyster Army Health Clinic hosted a Stomp Out the Stigma – Mental Health Awareness Walk in recognition of Mental Health Month. Clinic staff and members from the Fort Novosel community showed their commitment to break the stigma of mental health during the May 31 walk. Protecting, optimizing, and defending your mental health is vital to the well-being of everyone and to the readiness of our military force.
The start of the walk featured guest speaker, Mr. Brent Eubanks, Clinical Social Worker, with the Behavioral Health Department, sharing that defending your mental health means making your mental health a priority.
Along the 1-mile walk route, signs were on display sharing Mental Health facts. Lyster staff and community members wore green during the walk to show their visual support to break the stigma of mental health.
Mental health and substance misuse conditions can affect anyone; you are not alone. The Military Health System has many resources available to help those who need it.
If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988 or chat at 988Lifeline.org.
988 connects you with a trained crisis counselor who can help.
The team at Lyster also shed light on Mental Health Awareness during their monthly podcast, Lyster Health Talks.
